  • Analysis Of Hold Tight By Amy Bloom

    798 Words  | 2 Pages

    [Name] [Professor] [Subject] [Date] Amy Bloom's "Hold Tight" Some writers are born to give stories that intrigue and touch from beneath in the heart. Amy Bloom’s collection of short stories in her book “A blind man can see how much I love you” is a clear depiction of love and loss, of suffering and of endurance, and of struggles and survivals. One of her stories “Hold Tight” gives the readers insight in to the effects and influences of a the sickness of a mother on her daughter. The terminal illness may bring her death, but that may also bring about suffering of implacable nature in others that surround and comfort her. It is asserted that the vitality of the “mother's painting, "Lot's Wife", in Amy Bloom's "Hold Tight" can be compared to the meaning associated with Anna Ahkmatova's poem "Lot's Wife" in the sense that both women find importance in the destroyed city of Sodom, the physical pain of dying, and the story of Lot's wife herself. The destroyed city of Sodom is significant to both Amy Bloom and Anna Ahkmatova because it symbolizes the destroyed lives of the mother and of Lot's wife. In "Hold Tight" the portion of the mother's painting that is the destroyed city of Sodom is described by Amy Bloom as "bright and grim, were the sticky little flames of the destroyed city, nothing, not even rubble, around it." This is symbolic of the Mother's destroyed life because she was dying and her husband and daughter were becoming more dysfunctional the closer to dying she became. Bloom writes "more often than not, we'd end up back in the brown fog of his study, me taking a last few puffs with my legs thrown over his big leather armchair, my father sipping his bourbon and staring out at the backyard." The husband and daughter are dealin...

  • Analysis Of Lisa Delpit's The Skin We Speak

    971 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lisa Delpit’s book, “The Skin We Speak”, talked about language and culture, and how it relates to the classroom. How we speak gives people hits as to where we are from and what culture we are a part of. Unfortunately there are also negative stereotypes that come with certain language variations. There is an “unfounded belief that the language of low income groups in rural or urban industrial areas is somehow structurally “impoverished” or “simpler” than Standard English” (Delpit 71). The United States is made of people from various cultures and speak many different variations of languages. As teachers we must be aware of some of the prejudices we may have about language and culture.
